Hi Everyone, quick question as I am getting ready for my first event with NASA. Still trying to figure out the points thing. Have been seeing many different "views" when it comes to OEM Spoilers.
I have a BRZ Limited, which comes with the spoiler from the factory). Does this mean the spoiler is BTM, or since the BRZ Premium model does not have a spoiler, does that mean my limited automatically takes the +4 for the OEM Spoiler. |

My undertanding was getting hit with 4 points for it. I understood BTM, but had been seeing lots of posts in regards to BTM being linked to the specific model vs the car: Limited vs Premium, SE vs none SE, and all sorts of comparisons. I am at that point where I will end up running TTC because I don't want to deal with pulling body parts off my car for a couple events per year, so wanting to make sure that everything is 100% before ordering stickers. |

Yes, you would take 4 points for the spoiler. BTM is always linked to the base trim model with no options (so premium for the BRZ, which does not come with a spoiler). I think there are a few special cases with other cars with major upgrade packages, like the Mustang Boss302, where they are classed separately from the base mustang, but for our cars there is no special classing of for the different trim levels.

Where did you find the base class for our cars? The classifier spreadsheet doesn't list that and the 'base class' field is only a dropdown, not referenced from anywhere else. *EDIT* Nevermind, found it in the rules. Thought it was in their 'classifier program' like they said on the website. Last edited by Uplink; 04-27-2016 at 02:23 PM. Reason: I r dumb. :) |

Your best bet is probably TTC, it'll give you plenty of wiggle room too. With 0 suspension mods, on 200tw Direzza's and just due to my minor street mods (OP-Back exhaust, pulleys, slightly less weight)... I fall about 3 points from TTC. That said, the car is already competitive with TTC times so putting the extra 23 allowable points into suspension/tires would make it a formidable competitor. |

They aren't worth the points, that's the problem. I never built anything to TT spec (or really any spec for that matter) so backtracking to add up points shows how silly a lot of it is. I'm in the same boat as you on the intake. Perrin silicone inlet to get rid of the noise tube and the HKS snorkel. Neither make any appreciable competitive difference, but they fall into the category that includes doing a true cold air intake because non-BTM. No, definitely not. @Aero It's all in how you build the car though. Ideally, the best way to hedge your is you have to pick only 1 race series and build/spec your car to their rules eeking out every points advantage you can. Don't do anything extra or 'wasteful'. Ie, rather than Z2's, pulleys, and the snorkel, those points would have been better spent knocking a set of R888's or RE71's down to +2. |
